Hi everyone,
I'm looking to run some armoured cable from the main consumer unit in the house, down to a new smaller garage unit.
The armoured cable will supply both a summer house and a garage, running off 3 fuses : a 5amp fuse for outside lighting, a 16amp fuse for the summer house and a 16amp fuse for the garage.
The summer house has a 400watt underfloor heating system, a few sockets (for running a radio, TV, lamp etc) and a ceiling light. The garage will have a ceiling light and a couple of sockets (for running DIY tools such as drills, angle gringer, chop saw etc).
What I'm wondering is, what core armoured cable would you recommend. I can't figure out if I should be looking at 4mm or 6mm.
Thanks for any advice.
Jon
